If the one biggest monitor you can afford is one that has no space for extra stuff like longest headers, wasting more bucks and throwing away a monitor which still works perfectly just to avoid proper configuration of your email environment doesn't look a smart or polite suggestion. So this part of the discussion really ends here, as far as I'm concerned, don't expect any reply. Let's stick to strictly technical issues, as those are much more relevant to the list than this specific attitude of yours. > >2) A practical suggestion: I know for sure, because I did some research > > some time ago but can't find the file right now, that there are > > several scripts for semi-automatic management of IMAP local or > > remote folders.

No, if you do it right and the IMAP server lets you do it. What I am suggesting is: SMTP server drops everything in one mailbox, let's call it A a script you write once, with the tools mentioned above, runs every minute from one of your computers to do this: for every message in A get the message from IMAP server modify its subject if List-Id header == 'fedora' tell the IMAP server to put modified copy in mailbox B Once this works, you point every client you have to mailbox B, and B only. Mapping this to Gmail is left as exercise for the reader, but if it _is_ IMAP, it should work. It should also be less work than it seems, because some of those scripts come with ready examples of periodical automated backups from IMAP server to IMAP server, and this is the same kind of problem, with just the "modify subject" bit added in the right position.
